Each Lift Assist Telescopic Bollard utilises a gas strut within the bollard to reduce the lifting weight by up to 70%. This allows the unit to be raised and lowered with minimum effort. The Lift Assist Telescopic Bollard still maintains the benefits of a telescopic bollard which is designed to withstand a impact.
If you order more than one Steel Telescopic Bollard you can request the locks either require the same key to be unlocked, keyed alike, or the locks require different keys to be unlocked, keyed different. We recommend choosing keyed alike if the bollards are being installed in the same location, however keyed different would be ideal if the bollards are for individual parking spaces on a private car park.
Yes, extra keys can be purchased for new Steel Telescopic bollard. The includes keyed alike or keyed different to match the bollard(s) that you have purchased. We ask that you request additional keys at the time of purchase.
Telescopic bollards are designed to slide into their case installed in the ground. This means the bollards are only up when you want them to be. This is ideal for entrances that require restricted access.
The Steel Telescopic Bollard has not been Ram Raid tested or crash tested, however all bollards are manufactured to a high standard to reduce the impact of minor bumps and damage. In the event of a Ram Raid occurrence, the bollard will need to be replaced.
Galvanising is a process where a protective zinc coating is applied to steel to stop corrosion and rusting. This is commonly done using the hot dip method where the steel is submerged into a bath of molten zinc. All our steel products are supplied galvanised with an option to powder coat.
Powder coating is a polyester powder which is then heated to fuse with the protective cover. Powder coating gives our products the most economical, long lasting and most colour-durable quality finishes available. Powder coating surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing than other finishes.
RAL is the standardised colour matching system used in the UK and Europe. It attributes colours to a code to ensure the same hue is produced across paints, coatings, and plastics in the manufacturing industry.
Street Furniture Direct have a standard RAL colour chart with 30 colours to choose from, including Black, White, Grey and a range of bold and bright colours.
The Steel Telescopic Bollard needs to be fitted entirely into the ground. For the 114mm Diameter Steel Telescopic Bollard we recommend digging a hole to a depth of 1100mm, fill the first 100mm with Type 1 MOT Crushed Concrete (approved for use by the Ministry of Transport). Then fill the rest with concrete and install the steel section up to the lip so that it is flush with the ground. Leave to set.
The Steel Telescopic Bollard will need to be replaced after a car incident has occurred to ensure it is adequately performing and to prevent further damage. If you require a more secure bollard that will handle impact better, look at the heavy-duty steel telescopic bollard.
The 114mm Diameter Steel Telescopic Bollard weighs 85 kilograms in total, equivalent to a washing machine. A single bollard should not be carried alone, multiple units will require a pallet and forklift for transport. The weight of lifting the bollard when installed will be reduced by 70%.
The Steel Telescopic Bollard has a guaranteed warranty for 1 year however it should last for a significantly longer period depending on location, how often it is cleaned and whether it has been physically damaged or vandalised.
